House Republicans are divided over Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's new role leading a subcommittee on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created by President-elect Donald Trump to reduce government spending. While some hope her position will align her with party leadership, others fear her controversial nature may cause distractions. Greene, known for her combative style and controversial statements, has expressed interest in working with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget.

Debate Reignites Over BLM HQ's Potential Return to Grand Junction

Donald Trump's plan to relocate federal jobs outside Washington, DC, as part of his campaign to dismantle the "deep state," faces criticism based on past experiences. The relocation of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to Colorado during his first term led to significant staff vacancies and operational disruptions, according to current and former BLM officials. While some argue the move increased efficiency and local engagement, others highlight the logistical challenges and loss of experienced staff. The Biden administration reversed the move, but concerns persist about potential future relocations under Trump.

Musk and Ramaswamy Lead Charge Against Federal Remote Work

President-elect Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is considering ending remote work for federal employees to reduce the workforce through attrition.

The plan, which may be implemented through executive orders, is part of a broader effort to cut government spending. Critics argue that such changes could disrupt lives and not yield significant savings.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a commission aimed at reducing government spending by potentially eliminating federal agencies. With over 2 million Americans employed by the federal government, the commission's proposals could lead to significant job cuts, though Musk has suggested offering generous severance packages. The commission's recommendations would require congressional approval to implement, and it remains unclear which agencies might be targeted for cuts.
